Kalpurusha: A Longer Poem
Kalpurusha is one of the longer poems of mine which I have penned from time to time, which I have derived from for pleasure as and when I felt it necessary to relish upon and it is such a topic that enthralls me to my utmost as for the theology involved in, the metaphysics with which it has been written and put before a wider readership for appreciation and analysis if something can be got from. A writer cannot judge it himself the worth of a poem he has written which but the others will say it, the readers will with their remarks to be extended to. There is something of the mythical base as because hosuehold Brahminical myths and reflections I cannot dislodge them all rather than using them in a new way, deliberating and delving upon the common theme of mankind. It is but mortality which engages us, it is but immortality which but engages us and the predicament of man, how to avert it? There are definitely some more poems dealing with the same theme which I shall present in other books of poems.
One in the line of Indian thought and philosophy, trend and tradition, religion and ethics, religion and morality, theology and spirituality, myth and mysticism, Kalpurausha is just an image, archetypal and racial. It is a thought and reflection upon immortality as well as mortality, the mortal history of man, how to peruse it? How to rewrite it? How to present the mythical context of it? Who the Time-keeper, the Iron-man? Who the upholder of time and tense? We do not know, we are clueless with regard to it, but instead of our inquisitive nature we cannot discern it, we go on asking and asking whether it is answered or not, whether we know the answers or not. The eternal drama of life, we cannot script it, though we know it, but instead of it choosing Kalpurusha as the mouthpiece and spokesman of my poetry, as the myth and symbol to be used and applied in imagistically we can take it far for wisdom, counsel, learning and prudence sake. This much in this version of Kalpurusha. The four-line stanza structure has been used in to write the poem and it runs all through with the same length and line.

Can they go to such an extent of
Taking a temple in such a way,
Can they be so fantastical,
Are they same crowds who had a role
...

The cacophony and broken lines,
Half-said statements and meaningless words
Pervade the poetic spirit of the poem,
What does he mean to say,
...

A dark black shining statue of Kali,
Looking dreadful, awesome,
how to bust the myth of Kali,
What it is dreadful,
...

I shall say it to you,
Do not see
Crime Diary, Crime File,
You will turn into a criminal yourself,
...

Who will give a chance?
To get a chance is important,
Do not say that there is a dearth
Of heroines,
...

My death, you come to
And sit by me
And talk to me
As I have not held dialogues
...

The dogs too know it
They are drunkards
Lying fallen by the roadside
Under the starry skies
...

Before criticizing others
Criticize you yourself.
Be a critic of yours
Rather than others.
